Bill 117 hr 6199, also known as the Ste. Genevieve National Historical Park Boundary Revision Act, is a piece of legislation that aims to revise the boundaries of the Ste. Genevieve National Historical Park in Missouri. The bill was introduced in the House of Representatives on September 22, 2021, by Representative Jason Smith.

The expansion of the park would allow for greater protection and preservation of these important cultural resources. Overall, the Ste. Genevieve National Historical Park Boundary Revision Act seeks to enhance the preservation and interpretation of the historic resources in Ste. Genevieve, Missouri, by expanding the boundaries of the national park. The bill is currently under consideration in the House of Representatives and has not yet been enacted into law.
